Last quote by Tania Branigan

With more beards than females and no ethnic minority members, the UK team negotiating our leaving the EU will not reap the benefits diversity brings. There is nothing shocking about the photos of the UK’s Brexit negotiating team. They are almost exactly as you would expect. Somehow, it is normal that a team working on behalf of 65 million people should contain no person of colour and “more beards than women” – an indication not of hipster tendencies in the civil service, but of the fact there is just one female member among the nine. These are the people charged with fulfilling Theresa May’s promise that “as we leave the European Union … we will make Britain a country that works not for a privileged few, but for every one of us”.feedback

I'm not jealous of my male colleagues often, but I am when it comes to how they can just shower, shave, put on a suit, and be ready to go. The few times I've gone out in public without makeup, it's made the news.

I've made mistakes. There's no question, I think we all do. Some of them I've tried to own very publicly. And in some cases there were things that I did, until someone brought it up, I said, Gosh, I didn't realize that that was a mistake. I'm sorry about that.
